We went just passed the 2km mark from the Myra parking lot which is after the first tunnel. All in it was 5km round trip for us. At the parking lot you can rent bikes and there is also washrooms. The paths and trestles are wide enough for hikers and bikes. We definitely will come here again - maybe go a bit farther.

One of the highlights from our visit to the Kelowna area In June 2022. First, a mention of the 8 km…read moregravel road to get up to the Myra Canyon parking lot. We were able to drive up with our rental Toyota Corolla, but we did take it quite slowly as there were many potholes. The road was wide enough for 2 cars to pass along most of the route. Just before the parking lot, there were bike rentals/reservations recommended -- but we were planning to walk. Parking lot is quite large, but was close to full when we arrived around 11 am. The trail is well-maintained, wide, and is used by walkers and bikers. On our day there, the bikers included young children, couples on mountain bikes, adults on eBikes, and bikers participating in a bike race. Sharing the trail with the latter was unfortunate because they zoomed past us at high rates of speed and didn't observe the guidance that they needed to yield to walkers on the trestles (bridges). We walked a few hundred meters past the 4 km marker, at which point we turned back upon reaching a sizable puddle (and recognizing that we had to walk back!). Our total walk was 8 km plus (or exactly 6 miles). We walked over 11 trestles, numbered 18 to 8, and through two tunnels. Views of the canyon, and of Okanagan Lake in the distance, were beautiful. There were regular benches to stop to enjoy the views. There was a shelter, with a long bench at the 2.9 km mark. Pit toilets are at the parking lot and at the 4.0 km mark. There are also 3 picnic tables, with aggressive chipmunks, near 4.0.

Whenever I am in Kelowna (which admittedly has become less and less over the recent years) I have…read moreto come to City Park. Located right downtown it is a huge green space right along the lake. In summer it is bustling with people who have come to go to the beach, relax in the park or go for a nice walk, run or bike ride. It is a great place to run because the path is right along the lake so you're treated to nice views and due to its size you can cover a decent distance for your workout. They still have the Ogopogo (the mythical creature who lives in the lake statue and the fountain with the dolphins. Let me tell you that these have been there a LONG time (at least since I was a child). They add a nice little touch to the park. Also since my most recent visit was in December the city has set up an outdoor skating rink which looked like a lot of fun. You could rent skates if you didn't have them and it just looked like a good way to

Also, a great place for an impromptu picnic with friends and family. Remember to respect the nature, take away whatever you bring, and don't leave any garbage that spoils the park for all to enjoy!!

Across the street were condos and houses so not a lot of other things around. Parking is paid. What we liked was that the beach was very close by to the parking with a little green space. We saw lots of people set up blankets on the beach or grass. We found a nice spot under a tree and were able to get shade for a bit before the sun moved onto us. We did bring an umbrella so that was good. The beach was clean and the water was warmish and very shallow for quite a ways. Out of our time here, the kids spent the most time in the water and even tried to build some sand castles. There is also a beach rental where you can rent paddleboards and paddle boats. The only issue I had was the washrooms were disgusting; doesn't look like it gets cleaned very often and there was no place to change like on other beaches.

Great beach and park in Kelowna…read more There is a decent amount of sand to lay on and plenty of green grass too. There are washrooms to change but no vendors for food.

There's no washroom facilities at Paul's tomb and a porta-potty down the trail.

I didn't see any locals or tourist walking up Knox Mountain because the road going up is very narrow, so please drive slow and carefully. Once you're on the top, you will see a great view of downtown Kelowna and Lake Okanagan. I saw a few deers too. Other than that, this park is only for the view!

There are also benches where you can sit, relax, and take in the view and breeze. There's a zipline deck that looks like a lot of fun, especially in the summer! I'm not exactly sure what you hold onto while ziplining, but it seems like a great little thrill before splashing into the water. Just a heads-up--the jumping deck isn't connected to the main deck, so you'll have to swim to it. Be prepared to get wet before ziplining!

Nice little park in the corner of the waterfront district…read more Parking is available in the surrounding streets. Try the side streets a bit farther out if all there is nothing on Water. The neat little feature about this park is that there is a canal that also lines the neighbouring condos. There's a nice little beach, though the sand was quite clumpy. Along the shoreline is also a nice walking and biking path. The front of the park has a large dolphin fountain, though it does look a bit out of place. Last time I checked, Okanagan Lake doesn't have dolphins. Maybe just an Ogopogo.

This park on the outskirts of Kelowna was a great place to meet up for our family reunion. The…read morereunion was over a few days and we went somewhere different each day, but the setup of this park was ideal. There were about 60 of us at the reunion and we rented one of the gazebos for the day. It was a large size and just off to the right of the park was a small slope that led to a good sized beach area that had a buoyed area for swimmers where boats or water crafts weren't allowed. The view was quite stunning from there as well. We were greeted by a bunch of Canada geese and a deer which made the Great Canadian reunion even more festive for us! I have only two qualms about our time here. It's a bit tricky to find the entrance of the park, and the gazebo had a couple of toilets nearby, but by 4:00 PM, they stunk pretty badly and it was better to walk a few minutes to the bathrooms which were very large, and very clean. Otherwise, even if we didn't come for a reunion, it would be nice to come to this park on a hot summer day.
